Naomi and Luca have been pen-pals since fifth-grade. Well, more like bitter rivals caught in an epic battle of insults and verbal jousting. But what starts as a hilarious chain of hate filled letters, slowly develops into a friendship spanning coasts and years. That is until one day, 12 years later, when the letters suddenly stop. It’s been two years since Naomi last heard from Luca. Two years since the letter that changed everything. But when a new envelope turns up out of the blue at her desk at the local news station, Naomi is determined not to let Luca have the final word.

Publisher's Summary
ASSISTANT WANTED: Notorious, high-ranking villain seeks loyal, levelheaded assistant for unspecified office duties, supporting staff for random mayhem, terror, and other Dark Things In General. Discretion a must. Excellent benefits.
With ailing family to support, Evie Sage's employment status isn't just important, it's vital. So when a mishap with Rennedawn's most infamous Villain results in a job offer—naturally, she says yes. No job is perfect, of course, but even less so when you develop a teeny crush on your terrifying, temperamental, and undeniably hot boss. Don't find evil so attractive, Evie.
But just when she's getting used to severed heads suspended from the ceiling and the odd squish of an errant eyeball beneath her heel, Evie suspects this dungeon has a huge rat . . . and not just the literal kind. Because something rotten is growing in the kingdom of Rennedawn, and someone wants to take the Villain—and his entire nefarious empire—out.
Now Evie must not only resist drooling over her boss but also figure out exactly who is sabotaging his work . . . and ensure he makes them pay.
After all, a good job is hard to find.
Contains mature themes.

The cutest story
Feels like watching an episode of the office in a cosy fantasy setting. Charming characters, hilarious interactions, and a beautiful fantasy world! The narration isn’t as strong, but still worth a listen!

The story was amazing - narration not so good.
The book itself was amazing. The author was able to balance the dark humor nicely with the emotional moments. I really enjoyed the main character didn't spend the whole book angsting over their morals and all of that. The narrator really made it hard to get through and the only reason I got to the end was because I loved the story so much. Tip for other listeners - I changed the reading speed to 1.10 or 1.15 and it made the narration sooooo much better. By doing that it made the the book a somewhat worthwhile listen. As the narration was already quite slow, it didn't make it too fast to listen to. So I would still recommend taking the chance on this book as the writing is really worth putting up with the narration.

Loved it! But poor narration.
Great story with humour, romance and a great plot but the narrator was absolutely painful. Her stunted narration…really took…away…from the story. It got so annoying!!!! The flow was completely lost from when I read the actual novel and I only bought this audiobook as it is my most favourite novel and wanted to listen to it while I drove to and from work.

Some Fun Fantasy!
This book was so cute! It struck such a nice balance of high fantasy and cosy humour. It was like a warm hug! Like most other comments, I agree the narrator's delivery felt somewhat robotic, almost like it was generated by AI but got through for the sake of the writing!

Fun light no romance
So I was lead to believe there was heavy amount of romance in this story, there is but there isn’t .. if that makes sense. I think the performance was good, the story was good had a few twisty moments; and overall I think it was good a solid 3 stars. Will I pick the second one up, yes 🙌 I will.

Ok story, pretty cringe
The story is clumsy, but ..upbeat? There are no spicy scenes, just a super cringe romance with clumsy, cliche metaphors. Fun story despite that. The narration is a bit odd, but ok if you set it to 1.2x speed.

Entertaining story that rollicks along. Narration lets the down.
Entertaining story that rollicks along. The characters are likable and the easy read tale has enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged. Unfortunately the narration lets the story down.
